| Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |

BENSON, Rosetta Benson Johns Hayward (SRGP 08829)
END OF HONORABLE CAREER LONG RESIDENT OF RUTLAND
The community was saddened last week to learn of the death of Mrs. Rosetta
Hayward, of this boro, which occurred Tuesday evening, February 22, 1927, at
8:30 o’clock, at her home on Wilson avenue. She was born in Rutland
township on December 27, 1849. Her parents were Otis and Matilda Benson.
She was married to Sanford Johns, deceased, many years ago. And to this union
were born two daughters, Ella, deceased in early children, and Mrs. Theresa
Johns Gould, at home. Her entire life was spent in and about Rutland
township and Mansfield boro. Mrs. Hayward was loved by all who knew her,
thru her suffering, her presence full of sunshine and cheer, she will be missed
by all who knew her, and to the loved ones at home who have cared for her so
lovingly all through the weeks of her illness. She leaves to mourn her
loss, a daughter, Mrs. Theresa Gould, one granddaughter, Mrs. Armina Boyce, and
one great grandson; two brothers, Lyman C. Benson, of Roseville, and Otis J.
Benson, of Millerton. We cannot utter words of praise too great in behalf
of the departed. We can truthfully say of her that she was a woman who
possessed many noble traits of character. She was kind and charitable, a
faithful wife, a loving and dutiful mother, a good true neighbor. Her
constant aim in life was to live the life of a Christian. Many can testify
to the many acts of kindness she has done for them. She will be missed by
many of us who have learned to love her next to a mother, and may we try to
imitate her good example and heed the good advice given by her. The
funeral was held Saturday, February 26, from the M. E. Church in Roseville,
though she was long an active and earnest member of the Bailey Creek church.
Rev. H. G. Stearns, of Mansfield, officiated, who chose as his text II Timothy,
4-7. The floral tributes expressed beautifully the high regard in which
Mrs. Hayward was held. The flowers were without equal, both as to numbers
and beauty. She was tenderly born to the last resting place in Watson
cemetery by her nephews, Messrs. Merritt Cook, Minor Cook, Charles Benson,
Halsey Benson, Norman Benson, George Benson..
Patiently she bore her suffering,
Thanking God for blessings given;
And we know that she is resting
Where no earthly ties are riven.
Day by day she faded from us,
And all earthly help seemed vain;
So we left it all with Jesus,
For He cares for every pain.
But we would not by our sighing
Bring her back to life and pain;
For we know that in our losing,
It is her eternal gain.

She was a kind and loving mother and always had a pleasant smile and a kind word for everyone. Her presence brought sunshine and gladness. Her winning personality gained her a host of friends who had her loyal love and their thoughtful attentions were the solace of her declining years. By her death, earth loses one of its peace-makers and Heaven gains a Child of God.

The soul is safe in Heaven.
